Business Restructuring [Abstract]
Business Restructuring	NOTE 3: BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING As part of its efforts to improve performance of the UC segment, the Company initiated a restructuring of its business by disposing of its Syracuse, New York operations. The Company analyzed and determined that the disposal was not a component of an entity and did not qualify for discontinued operations treatment. Effective September 1, 2013, the Company sold certain assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary Alteva of Syracuse, Inc. to a third-party for approximately $0.6 million. The Company recorded a $0.4 million loss in the year ended December 31, 2013 relating to the exiting of the Syracuse operations, which included a $0.1 million write down of goodwill.

The entire disclosure for the facts and circumstances leading to the completed or expected disposal, manner and timing of disposal, the gain (loss) recognized in the income statement and the income statement caption that includes that gain (loss), amounts of revenues and pretax profit or loss reported in discontinued operations, the segment in which the disposal group was reported, and the classification (whether sold or classified as held for sale) and carrying value of the assets and liabilities comprising the disposal group. Includes all disposal groups, including those classified as components of the entity (discontinued operations).
